Robinho: 'No fall-out with Mancini' - Exclusive

Robinho has insisted he has not fallen out with Roberto Mancini and vowed to prove his worth to the Manchester City boss.

City's £32.5million striker suffered the indignity of being taken off with half-an-hour left in a 2-0 defeat at Everton last weekend, after himself coming on as a substitute.

The Brazilian stormed straight down the tunnel, fuelling rumours of a fall-out with Mancini, who left him on the bench for City's 2-1 Carling Cup semi-final win over Manchester United.

But Robinho, a summer target for Barcelona, has vowed to prove he has the work ethic to be a success at City, after being criticised for his perceived lack of effort and commitment.

"I don't have a problem with Mancini," said Robinho. "It's normal for a player to want to play but the coach makes the decision and I accept it.

"I've spoken with Mancini. I know what he expects from me and I'll work hard to do that for the team.

"I'm a professional, I'm dedicated and I always give everything in training. It's untrue to say otherwise.

"I want to be successful at City, I don't want to leave. I want to win things here and that's why I left Real Madrid for this challenge.

"What happened against Everton was rare. It's rare for any player to be substituted after coming on. But again, it was for the team.

"I don't think my World Cup place is at risk. The Brazil coach, Dunga, knows what I'm capable of and has confidence in me."

Robinho admitted it was hard to accept playing no part in City's epic win over United on Tuesday as Mancini overlooked him on the bench in favour of three other substitutes.

But the Brazil star said he respected Mancini's decision and vowed to prove he is worthy of inclusion in the team for next week's decisive return leg at Old Trafford.

"The Carling Cup is our first big chance for a trophy," said Robinho. "For me, it will be very hard not to play in the return leg against United.

"I wanted to play in the first game but the coach decided against it. It was a great game and these matches are always special.

"City have a 2-1 advantage from the first game but matches at Old Trafford are always difficult."

Good interview and very level-headed comments from Robbie.

Fuck the haters who love calling him names and slagging him off, No doubt they'll find something in this interview they don't like to use it as an excuse to slate him more. They can all fuck off and support the rags as far as I'm concerned!

You mean Subinho!

Lets all hope he means it, if so and we get some graft out of him he could make a whole lot of difference for the rest of the season.....FINGERS CROSSED...

Erm, never

He thinks he doesn´t need to work hard to get in start line-up.

It's amazing there's so many psychics on here that know what's going on inside his head.

He said in the interview he needs to work hard but you'd rather assume he's lying just so your shit opinion isn't wrong.

My opinion is wrong about him? Why? Because you said so? you can keep defend Robinho, but nobody here in Brazil thinks he wants to play for city....

I know Derek Acorah and he said that it's actually true.

Firts of all, I'm not a Robbie-hater. On the contrary, the man's an incredible player and would be a major asset for any club anywhere in the world.
But to me this interview isn't treading any new ground - he's only saying what you'd expect him to say.


If he could deliver the good where he's paid to deliver them then he wouldn't need to do interviews like this one.

Agree with all what kent said, its about time he did his talking with scoring than doing paper interviews. Ill forgive him if he gets a brace against the rag bastards next week.

 

[Matt Diablo]

personally I don't give a fuck what people think in Brazil....

 

[rkmrecordz]

its clear that hes disgusted with the notion that he doesnt train hard enough and wants to prove his worth because at the end of the day, talent for talent, he's the best CITY has.

 

[rkmrecordz]

he definitely should start over the weekend but then again im sure all the other lads wanna start. so hope hes been training hard enough this week and regain Mancini's trust...

ps: i would love to hear MH honest opinion on Robinho and Petrov.
